We need a slightly newer version of mypy in order to use some features
of the asyncio server functions in the next commit.
(Note: pipenv is not really suited to upgrading individual packages; I
need to replace this tool with something better for the task. For now,
the miscellaneous updates not related to the mypy upgrade are simply
beyond my control. It's on my list to take care of soon.)

setuptools is a package that replaces the python stdlib 'distutils'. It
is generally installed by all venv-creating tools "by default". It isn't
actually needed at runtime for the qemu package, so our own setup.cfg
does not mention it as a dependency.
However, tox will create virtual environments that include it, and will
upgrade it to the very latest version. the 'venv' tool will also include
whichever version your host system happens to have.
Unfortunately, setuptools version 60.0.0 and above include a hack to
forcibly overwrite python's built-in distutils. The pylint tool that we
use to run code analysis checks on this package relies on distutils and
suffers regressions when setuptools >= 60.0.0 is present at all, see
https://github.com/PyCQA/pylint/issues/5704
Instruct tox and the 'check-dev' targets to avoid setuptools packages
that are too new, for now. Pipenv is unaffected, because setuptools 60
does not offer Python 3.6 support, and our pipenv config is pinned
against Python 3.6.

A few new annoyances. Of note is the new warning for an unspecified
encoding when opening a text file, which actually does indicate a
potentially real problem; see
https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0597/#motivation
Use LC_CTYPE to determine an encoding to use for interpreting QEMU's
terminal output. Note that Python states: "language code and encoding
may be None if their values cannot be determined" -- use a platform
default as a backup.
Notes: Passing encoding=None will generate a suppressed warning on
Python 3.10+ that 'None' should not be passed as the encoding
argument. This behavior may be deprecated in the future and the default
switched to be a ubiquitous UTF-8. Opting in to the locale default will
be done by passing the encoding 'locale', but that isn't available in
3.6 through 3.9. Presumably this warning will be unsuppressed some time
prior to the actual switch and we can re-investigate these issues at
that time if necessary.

Pylint prior to 2.8.3 (We pin at >= 2.8.0) includes function and method
signatures as part of its duplicate checking algorithm. This check does
not listen to pragmas, so the only way to disable it is to turn it off
completely or increase the minimum duplicate lines so that it doesn't

When we decide to upgrade to pylint 2.8.3 or greater, we will be able to

I'd prefer not to keep us on the very bleeding edge of pylint if I can

tox is already testing the most recent versions. Let's use pipenv to
test the oldest versions we claim to support. This matches the stylistic
choice to have pipenv always test our oldest supported Python version, 3.6.
The effect of this is that the python-check-pipenv CI job on gitlab will
now test against much older versions of these linters, which will help
highlight incompatible changes that might otherwise go unnoticed.
Update instructions for adding and bumping versions in setup.cfg. The
reason for deleting the line that gets added to Pipfile is largely just
to avoid having the version minimums specified in multiple places in
config checked into the tree.
(This patch was written by deleting Pipfile and Pipfile.lock, then
explicitly installing each dependency manually at a specific
version. Then, I restored the prior Pipfile and re-ran `pipenv lock
--dev --keep-outdated` to re-add the qemu dependency back to the pipenv
environment while keeping the "old" packages. It's annoying, yes, but I
think the improvement to test coverage is worthwhile.)

Namely, we need to allow subclassing something of an unknown type (in

fuse itself) because mypy will be unable to import fusepy (even when
installed) as it has no types nor type stubs available.
Note: Until now, it was possible to run invocations like 'mypy qemu/'
from ./python and have that work. However, these targeted suppressions
require that you run 'mypy -p qemu/' instead. The correct, canonical

This is intended to be a manually run, non-CI script.
Use tox to test the linters against all python versions from 3.6 to
3.10. This will only work if you actually have those versions installed
locally, but Fedora makes this easy:
> sudo dnf install python3.6 python3.7 python3.8 python3.9 python3.10
Unlike the pipenv tests (make venv-check), this pulls "whichever"
versions of the python packages, so they are unpinned and may break as
time goes on. In the case that breakages are found, setup.cfg should be
amended accordingly to avoid the bad dependant versions, or the code
should be amended to work around the issue.
With confidence that the tests pass on 3.6 through 3.10 inclusive, add
the appropriate classifiers to setup.cfg to indicate which versions we
claim to support.

they're only invoking shell scripts and not really running any

to look.
Finally, add avocado-framework to the Pipfile environment and lock the

some features that Cleber has helpfully added to make the test output
here *very* friendly and easy to read for developers that might chance
upon the output in Gitlab CI.
[Note: ALL of the dependencies get updated to the most modern versions

Provided you have the right development dependencies (mypy, flake8,

To avoid duplication, we can modify pipenv to install qemu[devel]
instead. This enables us to run invocations like "pip install -e

specified in Pipfile.lock.
Importantly, this also allows us to install the qemu development
packages in a non-networked mode: `pip3 install --no-index -e .[devel]`
will now fail if the proper development dependencies are not already
met. This can be useful for automated build scripts where fetching

Python infrastructure as it exists today is not capable reliably of
single-sourcing a package version from a parent directory. The authors
of pip are working to correct this, but as of today this is not possible.
The problem is that when using pip to build and install a python
package, it copies files over to a temporary directory and performs its
build there. This loses access to any information in the parent
directory, including git itself.
Further, Python versions have a standard (PEP 440) that may or may not
follow QEMU's versioning. In general, it does; but naturally QEMU does
not follow PEP 440. To avoid any automatically-generated conflict, a
manual version file is preferred.
I am proposing:
- Python tooling follows the QEMU version, indirectly, but with a major
version of 0 to indicate that the API is not expected to be
stable. This would mean version 0.5.2.0, 0.5.1.1, 0.5.3.0, etc.
- In the event that a Python package needs to be updated independently
of the QEMU version, a pre-release alpha version should be preferred,
but *only* after inclusion to the qemu development or stable branches.
e.g. 0.5.2.0a1, 0.5.2.0a2, and so on should be preferred prior to
5.2.0's release.
- The Python core tooling makes absolutely no version compatibility
checks or constraints. It *may* work with releases of QEMU from the
past or future, but it is not required to.
i.e., "qemu.machine" will, for now, remain in lock-step with QEMU.
- We reserve the right to split the qemu package into independently
versioned subpackages at a later date. This might allow for us to
begin versioning QMP independently from QEMU at a later date, if
we so choose.
Implement this versioning scheme by adding a VERSION file and setting it
to 0.6.0.0a1.

find_namespace because find_namespace will naively also packages tests,
things it finds in the dist/ folder, etc. I could not figure out how to
modify this behavior; adding allow/deny lists to setuptools kept
changing the packaged hierarchy. This works, roll with it.
I am not yet using a pyproject.toml style package manifest, because
"editable" installs are not defined (yet?) by PEP-517/518.
I consider editable installs crucial for development, though they have
(apparently) always been somewhat poorly defined.
Pip now (19.2 and later) now supports editable installs for projects
using pyproject.toml manifests, but might require the use of the
--no-use-pep517 flag, which somewhat defeats the point. Full support for
setup.py-less editable installs was not introduced until pip 21.1.1:
7a95720e79
For now, while the dust settles, stick with the de-facto
setup.py/setup.cfg combination supported by setuptools. It will be worth
re-evaluating this point again in the future when our supported build
platforms all ship a fairly modern pip.
